Certified Importer & Seller Of Godox In South Africa
Product Description
The Godox AD400Pro II is a 400Ws all-in-one battery strobe for photographers who need strong, portable flash on location, with full TTL support and fast recycling.
This second-generation model refines the original AD400Pro with a high-visibility colour display and a group colour identification system. Its battery-powered design gives consistent performance in the studio or outdoors without relying on mains power, and full TTL compatibility across major camera systems supports fast, accurate exposure. Compact enough for a standard camera bag, it balances portability with the output needed for bright ambient light and large modifiers.
Ideal for: professional portrait, wedding, fashion, and commercial photographers who need power to work against daylight or with large modifiers on location.
Outdoor shooting means changing light, limited setup time, and the challenge of managing multiple flashes. The AD400Pro II addresses this with a high-capacity lithium battery good for up to 460 full-power flashes per charge and a built-in 2.4GHz wireless system for reliable remote control, while group colour indicator lights make it easy to identify individual flashes from a distance. Freeze Mode delivers extremely short flash durations for fast-moving subjects, high-speed sync up to 1/8000 sec enables wide-aperture shooting in bright daylight, and an upgraded 30W bi-colour LED modelling lamp (2800K to 6000K) helps with light placement and shadow control.
